Strategy, Design & Advertising

HUb Strategy & Communication was born in 2002, a time when flip phones were all the rage and the idea of a “dot-com” company was just starting to be a thing. As these nascent brands raced to be first to market with a well-built brand, the agency world was woefully unprepared to help. Every agency was specialized—they focused on advertising or design or strategy or direct response or production or whatever.
